    Question about Interpolate, Abort, Defective By Design

    Hi

    Like many I am getting organized to rip a large library. So I'd be really grateful if anyone could explain how the Secure Rip option interacts with the Abort, Interpolate and Defective by Design options. I understand broadly what these do, but I am unclear on a few points and have these questions:

    1. If Interpolate is selected whether it will interpolate across ALL errors detected, and whether an interpolation will be referenced in the rip log

    2. Whether Ripper will attempt to re-rip until I intervene if Abort is not enabled (Batch Ripper will run over night, so I'm a bit concerned about it not concluding a rip by morning) and

    3. Whether Defective By Design (which is about reading protected CDs by emulating a non-PC CD deck) has any error identification or correction, and whether it uses the Interpolate option if enabled. And generally how it compares as a secure ripping method compared to Secure Rip.

    I guess the important factor for me is that I get a rip that "sounds as close to how the original was intended as possible" even if this means I miss some bits, need to interpolate, or time limit my Secure Rips (I may collect a bunch of poorly ripped discs and attempt a slow Ultra Secure Rip but not as my first pass across the library).

    The software is fantastic by the way, it has so many features and has performed well for me so far (admittedly I am yet to rip and listen to an entire library!). The Batch Ripper concept and multiple simultaneous encoding are excellent.:smile2:

    Many thanks

    Detected errors are reported no matter what, interpolate is best off as the drive does a better job.

    It is possible for ripper o run for a long time, if the re rip frames is high.

    Defective by design has not error detection.

      Many thanks.

      So do all drives implement an interpolation equivalently? What's the point of Ripper's Interpolate option if the drive will do it? I note that the guide to ripping on computeraudiophile.com chose to use Ripper's Interpolate option (and not C2 or Ultra Secure), so it's interesting to understand these informed persons choices.

      So I guess the option "Individual bad frames /maximum re reads" the maximum re read per bad frame and the Abort option is simply going to cut in early if in the users view it's taking too long to get through the re reads? Useful.

      Thanks again for the quick reply.

        Drives can apply interpolate at a finer level, as far as I know I have never seen a drive which does interpolate but does it badly. The option is there for older drives which donot interpolate.

        The option you mention is good, also the maximum time per track is good also (a severely damaged disc might have 1000's of bad frames).

          Thanks Spoon. I have newly purchased drives so the software interpolate is now turned off. I'll play with re read repeats with and without C2 enabled if the option Max Re Reads is a good one.
